Ipswich v AFC Bournemouth live: score, updates and line-ups
How It Happened
- FT
Full time at Portman Road: Bournemouth hold on to beat Ipswich 2-1. Evanilson's early strike and Leif Davis's own goal right at the start of the second half put the visitors firmly in control, and although Jack Clarke's penalty gave the hosts hope and set up a nervy finish, Ipswich couldn't find the leveller despite a huge nine minutes of stoppage time. Yellow cards flew late on for Silva and Flemming, but Bournemouth held firm, with Walton denying Álvaro Rodríguez at the death to seal the win.

Since Clarke's penalty gave Ipswich hope, the game has settled into a scrappier spell without many clear openings. Flemming headed over from a Fatawu cross as the hosts pushed for an equaliser, while Bournemouth continue to concede fouls and work for a corner through Truffert's blocked strike. The stats have barely moved - Bournemouth still lead on shots, corners and fouls committed - and Diakité's arrival for Adam Smith, followed by a brief injury delay, has been the main talking point as Ipswich chase a leveller.

Ipswich have made a double change, bringing on Clarke and Flemming for Philogene and Emersonn as they try to find a way back into this. The pattern hasn't shifted much since though - Bournemouth remain the more direct threat, adding to their shot tally through Evanilson's blocked effort, and their fouls have crept up further as they continue to disrupt Ipswich's play. It stays 2-0 to Bournemouth with the hosts still enjoying more of the ball but little end product to show for it.

Bournemouth lead at the break thanks to Evanilson's clinical early finish from the right of the six-yard box inside five minutes. Ipswich responded brightly after going behind and have held the lion's share of possession throughout, but it's the visitors who've carried the greater threat, racking up more shots and four corners whilst forcing Walton into a couple of saves. Three bookings arrived in the 43rd minute, with Adam Smith and Tavernier cautioned for Bournemouth alongside Enciso for Ipswich. One minute of first-half stoppage time was added, and the sides go in with Bournemouth's extra cutting edge just about justifying their 1-0 lead.

Bournemouth have taken control in this spell despite Ipswich still holding more of the ball - Evanilson and Kluivert both tested Walton with efforts from outside the box, and the visitors have piled up four corners as they search for a second.

Bournemouth have grown into this and edged ahead in the shot count since the last update, with Christie and Rayan both firing off-target efforts and Enciso's follow-up blocked at the other end. Ipswich still have more of the ball but the visitors are winning the physical battles, picking up six fouls as they look to disrupt the hosts' rhythm.

Ipswich have responded well after going behind, dominating possession and pushing men forward - Enciso, Emersonn and Philogene have all had efforts on goal, with Petrovic doing well to keep out Philogene's low drive.
